**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 09 03:00:02 2017 Mar 09 14:33:56 Hi Mar 09 14:34:10 Which linux version do you support for ti am335x? Mar 09 14:34:18 And who is the maintainer? Mar 09 14:36:21 denix, ^^^ Mar 09 14:36:42 Who is denix? Mar 09 14:37:04 the guy that would know the answer Mar 09 14:37:44 ski7777: am335x should be supported in mainline since long ago. At least since 3.x kernel Mar 09 14:41:00 I am currently using buildroot with an am3352 at TI linux 4.1, but I would like to bumb to the TI linux 4.4 or 4.9. I am not sure whether this will run fine and so Mar 09 14:46:50 should be, afaik am335x is actively maintained upstream Mar 09 14:47:36 of course you might see other migration issues when moving several minor versions up.. things are changing all the time in the kernel. For example, you may need to update your DT Mar 09 14:48:13 So I would first ask someone who really knows am335x Mar 09 14:51:13 ski7777: you can also use the ti kernel (http://git.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel) -- it has active branches for kernel versions all the way up to v4.10 Mar 09 14:51:36 Thats what I use Mar 09 14:52:18 BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="git://git.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git" Mar 09 14:52:18 BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="ti-linux-4.1.y" Mar 09 14:52:37 But I use 4.1 Mar 09 14:54:29 so just switch to a newer branch? Mar 09 14:55:21 ski7777: not sure how your question relate to OE, but you may have better luck in #arago. it's the TI OE-based Linux distro. Mar 09 14:55:33 mago1: But I dont want to destroy my CPU Mar 09 14:55:47 #arago is empty Mar 09 14:56:03 weird, because i'm in it :) Mar 09 14:56:27 ski7777: what makes you think your CPU will be destroyed by running a newer kernel? Mar 09 14:56:43 worst case, your device will be bricked until you recover it Mar 09 14:56:45 Bad dts Mar 09 14:57:12 ski7777: do you have a custom AM335x HW, or are you using a reference board? Mar 09 14:57:20 custom hardware Mar 09 14:58:11 at least i have run 4.4 kernel on my AM335x board without any issues Mar 09 14:58:31 I think I will need to try it Mar 09 14:59:07 IMO, if you have a custom design you can never expect kernel upgrades to be painfree Mar 09 14:59:30 Currently I dont have a local copy of the TI repo Mar 09 15:01:04 The Ti git server is really slow Mar 09 15:07:24 What could happen whan bumping the kernel version? Mar 09 15:11:31 what could happen is that you'll get a kernel corresponding to the new version Mar 09 15:12:39 nonono Mar 09 15:12:52 I mean which bad things could happen to my hardware? Mar 09 15:15:38 well, i've never had a kernel damage the hardware. worst thing is that you brick so you cant boot. then you'll need a JTAG or if your custom design has support for any of the bootrom methods to booting an empty system Mar 09 15:16:10 I boot from sd card Mar 09 15:16:27 then its fine, just eject the sdcard and put back your old kernel. Mar 09 15:16:31 as long as the kernel doeas not erase my NAND everything is good Mar 09 15:38:44 Crofton|work: what's up? Mar 09 15:40:41 Which linux version do you support for ti am335x? Mar 09 15:40:41 And who is the maintainer? Mar 09 15:40:44 from earlier Mar 09 15:41:12 I just tested 4.4y but kernel panic Mar 09 15:41:33 Crofton|work: hmm, I see. looks like he's been told already Mar 09 15:41:51 ok, just wanted to make sure you saw the question Mar 09 15:42:18 http://pastebin.com/RyB1aKK4 Mar 09 15:42:18 Crofton|work: thanks Mar 09 15:45:21 ski7777: I'd say something's wrong with your dtb, as it complains about it and then panics right away - clocksource_probe: no matching clocksources found Mar 09 15:53:23 denix: with 4.1 it was workin Mar 09 15:53:25 g Mar 09 15:55:23 ski7777: irc is not the right media to debug kernel problems - try e2e forums at e2e.ti.com **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 10 03:00:03 2017
